The cowboy isn't the only Woody in the playroom.
It's hard to believe that it's been twenty years since Toy Story first appeared in theaters. While I didn't see it in theaters, the home video release has a special place in my heart. I worked as a cashier at Wal-Mart for the 1996 holiday season. We had TV / VCR carts set up at both entrances just past the shopping carts. Toy Story had just come out on home video, so we had the tape playing on a constant loop. On the days that I worked the express checkout lanes, I would hear Randy Newman sing "You've Got A Friend In Me" ten or twenty times a day at the beginning and end of the tape. It became sort of an alarm clock to let me know that another 80 minutes of my shift had passed.
